of more than one bill holder for currency of each denomination. However, a desideratum in this art is the production of a machine of minimum size, so the indefinite duplication of the denominational bi'll holders is impracticable in meeting -the requirements of a commercial machine. For'this reason I have devised novel means whereby manipulative devices are adapted to control .by one operation thereof, one Or more delivery-movements of the deliverer of a predetermined bill holder. Under these conditions, by pressing a predetermined key, for instance, a single bill of the denomination of $10.00 may be delivered or ejected from the machine, while, in orderto. obtain $30.00, a separatekey may be operated one time only, and through the provision .of the necessary instrumentalities, the deliverer will perform automatically three. delivery movements, each time carrying to the delivery point a bill.

To all whom it may concern: I Be it; known that I, THOMAS BinYEU, a citizen of the United States,.. residing at- Portland, in the county of Multnomah and State (if-Oregon, have inventd'certain new and useful Improvements in Paper-Currency-Paying Machines, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention appertains to machines for handling money, and particularly, those of the type adapted to select and deliver, under manual control,'a predetermined sum of money comprising either coinage or paper currency, or both.

Machineslof a construction to which this invention especially relates are illustrated in the pending application of \Villiam S. ()verlin, 'filed November 5, 1912, Serial Number 729,704, and a pending application of I myself filed January 18, 1913, Serial Number 742,958, Inthe first mentioned application, the paper currency handling instrupurpose of eflecting a separation of a bill or note from. a pile, and delivery of the .same from the machine. In the second mentioned asufficient number of units in a paper, ourrency delivering machine, to correspond with the number of denominations of bills or notes handled, in order to deliver money ments, the pneumatically controlled devices for insuring proper separation of a piece of paper currency from a,pile and delivering the'sa-nie, are furthermore utilized to control in a "peculiar manner certain operation of the machine effected by the removal of a bill i'nanually from the deliverer. In the machine which is hereinafter set fortluzl have made a further advance in ity of the machine to its maximum.

ings, in which simplifying the mechanisms generally, but of greater importance, I dispense with the need. of two separate manual operations of the machine to effectselection and delivery of the r )e'r currency. The operations of selecting and delivering ajpiece of. paper currency, sep te performed heretofore, are C(illljlllcl in. this machine.

By reason of the foregoing, it will be obvious that I only require 1n sums ranging from the minimum capac-- The manner in which the objects herein Figure 1 is aside elevation of a,machineto bring out more clearly the several mechanisms, and,

maybe moved upward to admit a fresh pile view, certain parts such as the platform or Fig. 4: is a detail view tlli means, and Fi is a plan view of the same, the hey stems shown in section. Fig. (l is a sectional view on the line 66 of Fif 3, dotted lines illustrating'the holder elerated as when supplying a bill to the deliverer. Fig. 7 is a front view, with the casing omitted or broken away.

Ilriel'ly speaking, the present money handling machine embodies one or more. holders for bills or paper currency, each holder adapted to support a pile ol bills practically in the condition in which it is received from a bank or counting house. Associated with the holder a dcliverer comprising a suction head adapted upon relative movement of the holder and deliver-er, to separate a bill from the pile on the holder. The delivercr is also adapted to carry the bill to a suitable delivery point. The relative movement of the delivere' and bill holder to eil'ect preliminary separation of a bill from the pile is imeunnitically controlled, being caused primarily automatically by the mere removal of the bill from the deliverer when the hill reaches the delivery point. The delivery movement of the dcliverer, however, is controlled by manipulative men'n bers, such as keys. and the details of the parts inst referred to will now he set forth,

The base of the machine is designated A in the drawings and since a commercial 1ua chine embodying the invention, would co1nprise only a plurality of delivery units, 1 have illustrated and will now describe one only of these units.

A suitable bill holder 1 in the form of a. table or platform is vertically movable above the base it. said holder having spaced downwardly extending guide mcn'ibers Z intermediate its ends, the latter having projections oi hearings El which operate in spaced guides 4: that project upwardly :l'rom the base it. The holder 1 is siuuiorted by a piston rod 5'', the upper end of which is secured to the under side of the holder and the lower end oi which is bifurcated to receive 2 linlt (i. The lower end of the link is pivotally connected to therod 5 adjacent to a piston 7 which carries said rod and the upper end of the linlt is pivotally connected with an arm 8 extending from a roclt shaft-9. A coiled spring It] is secured at one end to the post ll. and at its other end is attached to another arm 12 which projects dmvnwardly from the shaft 9 aforesaid. The spring 10 normally tends to raise the holder to the up 'iermost limit of its movement, which moven'ient is all'orded for the purpose of permitting the holder 1 to carry the pile of bills thereon upward to the deliverer l3 arranged above the same. It may be noted here, however, that the normal position of the holder 1 is at the lower limit of its movement. said holder being thus held against the tension of the spring 10 by means of suction in the cylinder 14 in which the piston 7 operates. Said cylinder 14 is connected l a pipe 15 with a pipe 16 transverse thereto, the pipe 16 being in turn connected with a vertical pipe 17 that extends upwardly from and is in communication with a main suction conduit 18. Suction created in the conduit 18 is also created in the cylinder lrl by reason of communication established through the pipes 15, 16 and 17.

Said suction is turthern'iorc regulated by means oi valves 1!) and ill), the valve 19 controlling the communication between the pipes in and 17, whereas the valve 30 controls communication between the pipes 15 and to. By the provision of. th: valves 19 and 20. the amount of suction in the pipe 15 and that in the pipe 17 may be nicely regulated, this being advantageous because the pipe 17 has a tubular extension 17 with which a pipe :21 that forms a part of the deliverer. is telescopically connected. The pipe :31 has a goose neck 29 l'n'ovided with a suction head '22} arranged above the holder I. Said suction bead-has apertures in its bottom portion, the latter being adapted to engage with a 'paper bill or note uppermost on the pile carried by the. holder 1. The telescopic connection between the parts 17 and .21 is shown at 17 and permits of 1011 gitudinal sliding moven'ient of the member 21 with the head. 23, such movement being required in ell'ecting delivery of a. bill to the delivery point. Projecting upwardly from the holder 1 are a plurality of guides or retaining lingers 1" which maintain the bills on the holder in place during the move ment of the latter. If desirable, the downwardly projecting guide finger 2 may be carried by the part l7 and also cooperates to prevent displiu'cment ot' the bills on the holder 1.

The goose neck 2'3 which has the suction head 23, is movably mounted on the pipe 2]. there being an interlocking lag and slot connection "15 intermediate said parts. Normally the lug is interlocked with the slot of the pipe 21. but by pulling outwardly on the goose neck. said lug may be disengaged from the slot and will then permit the bead 'J-l to be raised into a vertical position, as shown in Fig. 2 in dotted lines and in full lines in Fig. t. With the head 2 upraised, it is very easy to replenish the supply of bills on the holder 1, and a spring is utilized to resiliently hold the parts 21 and interlocked by the connection 25 a't'oresa id.

Near the front of the machine is a, rock shalt E20 which carries a lever *2? near one end and a stop arm 28 near its other end. A. spring 2%) is connected at onecnd with a projection 30 on the arm 28, the otheiwend of said spring being anchored to the base at 31. Said spring normtlly tends to pull the stop arm rearwardiy together with the lever the lever 27 therefore 27, the latter being co mated by a link 32 Withthe deliverer.

"will be likewise im parted to the pipe 21 of the deliverer and the goose neck 22 and head 23 which are carried by said pipe. Near its lower end,

the. lever 27 has a pin 33 which passes through a slot 34 at one end of an operating bar 35.

The operatingpar 35has a slot 36 intermediate its ends through which a guideggnient of the deliverer,

and pivot pin 37 passes. Also at its rear end the 35 has a slot 38 receiving a pivot pin connection 39 between saidbar and a vertioally movable lock member40; The upper end portion of the lock member 40 is formed with a hook catch 41 and an arm 42,,and

said member40 is connected. by a slotted link 43 with the lever 27.

the operating-bar 35 has a' lateral pro ec Onr ts rear extremity tion 44, which projection is engageable by a pawl 45, the rearmostend of which is pivotally connected'with the arm 12 of the shaft 9.' A spring-46 is secured at one end to the projection 44 of the bar and the other end of the spring is secured to the short arm of a somewhat L-shaped plate 47.

The plate 47 is adapted for slight tilting movement, its front end having, as a support, the pin or bearing 37 and the rear end being connected with the bar 35 and'lock member by the pivot connection 39.

It will be observed that thenose of the pawl 45is'adapted to engage with the projection 440i the operating bar 35, said engagement taking place during downward movement of thearm 8 and rearward movement of the arm 12. By such engagement 1 -i between the parts 35 and 45-, the member 45 that the notchof the 33, and were it'not for the {of the slot 34. to be and 48, caused is adapted to draw the operating bar 35 rearwardly and downwardly, thereby placing the spring 46 underconsiderable tension and causing the notch atlthe front end engaged with the pin 33 of the lever 27. v

On the shaft 9 is also carried a restraining arm48 having at its front end, a lock pin 49 and on, downward movement .of the arms 8 g by suction in the cylinder 14, the lock pin 49 engages with the arm42 of the lock member 40 and depresses the lock member sufiiciently to impart a slight oscil-,

latory movement to the opera-tingbar '35,

the bar 35 isreleased fromthe pawl 45 after said pawl has moved the bar 35 rearwardly. It is atthis time slot fact that other restraining means is employed to prevent forward movement of the bar-'35 to actuate the lever 27 and dehverer, said member 35 would-immediately move forwardai'ter the] part 15 is disengaged from the-projection 44.

The last mentioned restraining means which cooperates with the bar 35 and lever 27 to pfvcment imparted to carries a detent 56,

. raise said plate with 34 engages the pin,

prevent delivery movement of the deliverer will now be described. It may be noted, however, that just above the pawl 45 is located a stop 50 that'limits the upward play of the pawl during operation of he machine.

As shown most clearly in Figs. 2, 3 and 4, manipulative means is employed to control the bill discharging or delivering move and said means preferably comprises a plurality of keys (1, 7) and 0.. The keys a, the application supported in an auxiliary casing B suitably carried by the base A. Mention has heretofore been made of the provision on the rock shaft 26, near the front of the machine, of the 'stop arm 28. The said arm 28 has an outwardly projecting stop pin 28 at its upper end and adapted for coiiperation with a pivoted stop lever 51 supported at 520m the casing of the machine. catch 53 that normally rests ina position to engage the stop 28 of the 'arm 28. Vhen the lever 51 is in the position shown in Fig. 4, namely, in the path of movement of the stop 28, it is obvious that the'shaft 26 and dehverer actuating lever 27 cannot move forthe stop 28 in order that the delivery movement of the deliverer may be effected. It is for this purpose that the manipulative keys at, b and c are utilized, the key a having a projection a on its stem arrangedfto engage the outer extremity of an extension 51 of the stop lever 51. At one side of the lever 51 is a pivoted plate 54 having a projection 55 extending therefrom beneath and in contact with the stop lever'51. The plate 54 is composed of spaced elements or plate members and its axis is common with that of the lever 51. At its free end, the plate 54 the upper endof which has a series of steps or notches adapted to be engaged with a detent flange 57. A

The lever-51 has a spring 58 tends to cause engagement of the parts 56 and 57. Asecond spring 59 is so connected with the plate 54 that it tends to sired, a. flat spring (50 may be utilized to sup: plement the spring 59, said spring (30 bearing upwardlyv against the under side of theplate 54. Suitable springs 61 tend'to hold the keys a,

b andc upraised. Thev operationthe detent56; If do of the manipulativecontrolling means just referred to will be set forth in the general description of the operation of the machine.

, General operation of the machine: suming that thebill holder 1 is supplied with a pile of bills or paper notes of a certain denomination andthatthe parts are.

positionssubstantially as shown in as soon as the pneumatic means by in the v lug. 2,

which a suction is created in the conduit 18, begins to operate, said suction immediately tends to pull dmvnwardly the piston 7 in the cylinder 14. This lowers the holder 1 and by reason of the suction through the pipes 17, 17" and 21, and the head 533, the uppernmst bill of the pile on the holder is separated from the pile and retained in enagrement with the under side of the head ready to he delivered see Fig 3). During the downward movement of the piston 7, the arm S of the shaft 9 forced downward, thereby placing the large spring 10 under tension that will later cause the holder to be elevated to supply another bill to the deliverrr. 11s the arm 8 tilts downwardly, the restraining arm -l8 is tilted in the same direction and the arm 12 is moved rear wardly w th its pawl -15 engaged with the projection il'l, of the operating bar 35. The pawl pulls the operating har rear *ardly incr asing the tension of the actuating spring i l of said bar. and on the final drm'nward movement of the piston, the pin-i9 oi the restraining a rin 4-1-8 strikes the lock member 4-!) and oscillates the operating bar so as to disengage its projection it from the pawl -15, and sinniltancously the notch of the slot 3% is engaged with the pin 33 ot' the lever 27. The lever :37 being on the shattQG having the stop arm is prevented from causing delivery movement of the suction head 23 under the influence oi the spring to owing to the fact that the pin $18 of the stop arm :28 engaged by the catch ot the stop lever Supposing. now, that the key (A is depressed. its 'n'ojcrtion n. will engage the portion 51 of the lever 51, dcpressing, said h 0 Since the lever 51 engages the pin 55 of the plate 5-1: the plate :l-i; is depressed simultancmisly with the lever 51 and carries downwardly the notched dctent 56 a distance equivalent to the depth of the lowermost notch. The sprint, 59 then quickly pulls the detent 51S rearward so that the second notch from the bottom thereof is engaged with the 1nrojcction 57. The above operation of the key or causes sulliricnt downward movement of the parts 51 and 5-1 to disengage the catch from the stop '28 of the arm JR. and the moment this is done, the spring Hi. acting through the bar 35, forces; the lover pipe 21, goose neck 2:? and suction head 23 outwardly to the forward extreme of their movement (see Fig. ll. In other words, depression at the key a allows the suction head 23 to deliver the bill. outraged thereby. the delivery consisting in the projrrliinr ol' the Front end of the bill through a slot in the casing. not shown or a sllllioielll distance toward the front of: the machine to tumble said portion of the hill to be grasped and removed from the suction head. Durinp the forward movement of the lever 37, the link :13 is pullrd torward and mat ers the rear end of the slot of said link engages a pin 4-3 on the lock member 40, pulling'the hook 171 of said member forward so as to engage over the restraining pin it) of the arm -18. 'lheretorc, all the time that the suction head or deliverer is in its delivery position, the lock member -10 by cooperation with the restraining arm 18 positively locks the holder 1 downward against the tension of the spring 10. The operator now grasps the delivered bill and removes the same from the suction head 23 which is in its delivery position and when this is done, the openings or apertures in the bottom of said head become unobstructed and the suction air line leading frointhe conduit 18 to the cylinder 14: becomes broken. The breaking; of the air line in the manner stated so much reduces the suction in the cylinder 14: that the piston 7 and the holder 1 are forced up 'ardly by the spring 10. The upward movement of the parts 7 and 1 does not take place, however, until the spring; 29 pulls the stop arm 28 rearward, thereby moving the lever 27 and parts 21, 2'2 and in the same direction. The link 43 is likewise moved rearwardly by the action of the spring :29 and through the pin 43 said link 43 tilts the lock member 11 i-carward just about the time when the suction head or deliverer has regained its normal position. Of course, when the holder 1 moves upwardly as just described, fresh bill from the top of the pile thereon is supplied to the suction head 23, thereby closing the openings in the hob tom of said suction head restoring the suction air line to the cylinder let. Immediately upon restoration of the normal suction in the cylinder 14, the piston 7 is forced downwardly and pulls the holder 1 with it, the operation as first described commencing again.

It should be noted. that when the key n was depressed to release the stop 28 and its arm 28, said stop 28 moving forward simultaneously with the deliverer struck the dctent 56 which has been previously lowered one notch, thereby moving said detent forardly against the tension of the spring 58,

and causing the second notch of the detent to disengage from the part 57 permitting the detent to resume its uppermost normal position. The levcrol and plate 54: moved up ard at the some time, so that catch 53 was normalized and made ready to engage the stop 28 on return of the lever 27 carryin; the deliverer to receiving position.

The foregoing describes the operation of the machine by which a single bill of a predetermined denomination will be almost instantly delivered from the machine upon de pression of the key a. Supposing, however, that the key Z) should be depressed; a (1i iterent result is obtained because the projection b of said key I; is designed to lower the parts 51 and 54: sufficiently to depress the detent 56 the distance of these conditions, effected by depression of the key b causes said stop to move forward into engagement with thedetent 56 and simiiltaiiebus forward movement of the deliver-era However, when the stop 28 engages the detent 56, the third notch of the'detent is disengaged from the projection 57 and the second notchis engaged with said projection and though catch 53 moves upward slightly part 56 still holds the catclfdownv clear of the stop 28. Since the second notch of the'detent engages the projection 57, the catch 53 of the lever 51 is yet retained by the detent 56 out of the path of movement of the stop 28 as just mentionedand therefore, on renibval of the bill from the delivery head 23, said head will return to its normal position to automati cally receive another bill and then move out Wardly to deliver the second bill, owing to the fact that the catch 58 is retained out of the path of the stop 28. On the second movement outward of the-head 23 carrying the secondbill to the delivery point, the stop 28 strikes the detent 56 the second time in this particular operation of the machine-so that the first notch at the bottom of the detent engages the projection 57, releasing and "permitting suflicient upward movement of the catch 53 of the lever 51 to engagesaid catch again with the stop 28 and thus prevent aiiotherdelivery movement of the delivery head.

It should be borne in mind that when the detent 56 is depressed by any one of the keys a, b or 0 the spring 58 pulls the detent to the right as shown inFig. i: so as to bring a side of the notched portion above that engaged by the member 57, into a position in which it will be struck by the stop 28 in the movement of the latter. The movement of the stop 28 is always for a constant distance, namely suiiicient merely to trip the detent 58 enough that it may be normalized by a single or step by step movement dependent upon which of the keys is operative.

The principle of operation as above set forth, is practically the samein respect to the key x, excepting that depression of the latter key through its projection c lowers the members 51 and 54, and'consequently the detent 56, untilthe fourth notch of said detent is engaged beneath the projection 57 and it takesrthree successive operations of the' deliverer, all performed automatically as soon as the bill is removed from the-head,

in order to restore the detent 56 to its normal position, whereupon the catch 53 'will be released .to'coact with the stop 28 to prevent any further movement of said deliverer until one of the keys is again depressed.

With the manipulative controlling means just described, it is obvious that by depress two notches. Un der' under tension,

ing one of the keys mentioned, a single bill another key will control the delivery of two bills, and still. another v key will control the delivery of, three bills.

By adding notches to the detent56, any suitablenumber of successive operations of the deliverer may be effected bythe mere depression of a single key and the'removal of the bill from the delivery head as soon as the latter assumes its delivery position. .jxIn this connection,

it must be borne in mind that the detachment of the delivered bill from the suction head 23 controls subsequent automatic operation of the holder 1 and head to separate another bill from the pile in the holder and deliver said bill if the catch 53 is so adjusted that the delive'reris free to move forward. I

In Fig. 3, a conventional form o'f'suction creating device, such as an exhaust fan or equivalent means, is illustrated at C, the same beingconnected with the conduit 18 by a flexible hose 18. Where the machine of this invention is used in department stores, or establishments employing a pneumatic cash system, it will be obvious that said machine could readily be. connected with a suction conduit of such system in a very advantageous manner. 7

In regard to the operation of the several mechanisms that have been fully. described above, it. should be noted that the suctiorr means in operating upon the piston-7, constitutes the means acting through the pawl;

45, to store up power in the spring 46 and by which power the operatingbar 35 is driven when the stop 28 is released by-the keys. Necessarily, the suction created in the cylinder. 14 must be suflicient' to over come the tension of the main spring'l0 thatv ios acts to cause relative movement of the holder and deliverer when the former supplies. a 'billto the latter; Again, it "should be noted that after the deliver-er is actuated by the spring 46, operating the bar 35', said spring is not under tension momentarily so that it does not resist the rearward movement of the deliverer acting under the'tension of the spring 29. The'spring 46, when is more powerful, obviously, than the deliverer restoring spring 29.that

connects with the arm 28.

As shown at D in Figs. 3 and 7, and also partially illustrated in other figures of the drawings, it is contemplated to employ a valve (1 in the piston 7, together with-certain mechanism to control the opening and closing of said valve. preferably for governing to a certain extent the suction in the cylinder, acting as a relief valve under certain conditions. The

This valve is used,

valve and its controlling mechanism will not be specifically described since any suit able means of this'sort may be utilized within the purview of the invention.
